The ANSER Junior High Students will present the Human Rights celebration we held. Groups of students studied and presented individual rights from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We connected the rights with the real world, our community, and ended with a Human Rights celebration at a local park. Our work and media from our performance can be found at http://anser.weebly.com/index.html . We will review these during our presentation.

Emotional intelligence is the ability of personal identification and effective management of their own emotions in relation to personal goals (career, family, education). Finality is to achieve our goals, with minimal inter-and intrapersonal conflicts. Even if a person has sufficient knowledge and intelligent ideas, if they do not know and is unable to manage their emotions and feelings, may face difficulties in trying to build relationships with others or a successful career. A developed emotional intelligence allow the value of intellectual skills, creativity, ensure success, both in personal and professional at. If the teacher knows what emotional intelligence, believes in its role in personal achievement, act in accordance with the directions of development in relations with him and others, including his students will be able to advise, convince by their behavior and form a successful lifestyle oriented.

Secondary students from The International School of the Americas in San Antonio, Texas, USA are participating in the Flat Classroom Project as an integral part of their "21st-Century Global Leadership" class. In this session, they will share what they've learned about the technology trends described by Thomas Friedman as "flatteners" in his book, The World is Flat. Students will also reflect on what they've learned about collaboration and communication through their participation in this global project. The students are leading the way; join us to hear what they have to say about global education!

Students past and present involved in completing the Flat Classroom Project present via the virtual classroom their ideas and thoughts about living and learning in a flat world. Specific reference also made to learning objectives and outcomes of the Flat Classroom Project and how these experiences have enhanced cultural understanding and global awareness amongst participants.

THE WAY HOW MY MY SCHOOL CONDUCT IT'S WORK AND THE STUDENT'S ROLE..AND THE DIFFICULTY IN COMMUNICATION.. In this presentation i will show you positive and negative factors that i have got from my fellow students from the research and the experience i have towards the issue; i have put it in different paragraphs and i hope it is not based on the general education. The way how my school conduct it's work is so good though a bit poor...i love my school and i think am not talking bad on it..some schools in Uganda have good education facilities while other not this has led to the dropping of the academic performances for the students and it is difficult to communicate to other people especially via the internet since most people are not connect and other have limited access to them though they are connected..we are going to talk a bout the positive and negative and how it has affected the schools..and other things. thanks for this wonderful opportunity..Great thanks to Mrs Monika Handy!!

Inside ITGS is a collaboration that started between two schools in China. The aim of Inside ITGS is to join students together in a flattened virtual learning environment thereby providing enhanced opportunities for cultural awareness and global collaboration as well as explore and evaluate IT tools and systems in an authentic and social context. Join Grade 11 Information Technology in a Global Society students from Beijing (BISS) International School and Western Academy Beijing as they present and discuss about what it means to be a connected and collaborative online learner with the ‘Inside ITGS’ community. Topics covered include best tools to support online learning, global digital citizenship perspectives, and challenges to connected learning in a global sense.

Students will display and demonstrate how our monthly print edition newspaper is both synced electronically online, as well as outsourced through twitter. Sports, news, arts and entertainment are all "tweeted" in real time. All those following our newspaper through Twitter receive updates as to current in-game scores, final scores, main news stories, and anything of interest to the Bedford school and community. These updates are then composed as articles and uploaded to our online edition so articles are timely, up-to-date and accurate. Then, for our monthly edition, articles are refined, and subjected to the regular process of publishing the print edition.

Students in a culturally diverse classroom in Paris gain a sense of global community and improve their attitudes towards writing. This project is designed to showcase the love of writing through the use of a blog. The blog is connected to a second grade classroom in Stillwater, Oklahoma, USA. Students in both classrooms are learning to write so that others can read and enjoy their writing. The students will write about their daily lives, incorporating special aspects of their lives in Paris. Their writing will then be scanned and put into a slideshow. Using Voice Thread, students will record themselves reading their own writing. Students may then add illustrations or photographs to enhance their writing. This presentation will then be posted on the blog for the students in America to view and comment. The American students will also contribute their own pieces to the project.

Poetry as a mean of education influences recipients complexly. Poetry belongs to the oldest face of sharing, teaching and learning. Poems have provided people the strength and elegance to keep the information and spread them, the verbal medium of knowledge speaking to anybody. Nowadays, the education becomes international, the informal education is getting very fractionalized: for education as the introduction into the society, we are performing our poetry study. Informal education by the shared poetry, the role of poem for education and also the current results of the project Lacadalet will be discussed.

Starting from the questions: "What is nanotechnology?", or "How will it affect the future?", a group of students from our school, with their colleagues from other 23 pilot schools from Europe, have tried to find answers through the "Nanoyou" project, coordinated by ORT Israel in collaboration with prestigious international institutions in science: European Schoolnet, Israel ARTT, Nanoscience Center - University of Cambridge, Barcelona Science Park, Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center, Cité des sciences et de l'industrie, Center for Culture Scientifique, Technique & Industrielle Grenoble and the Center for Social Innovation.

SHORT DESCRIPTION:

Parents are the cheerleaders and voices for the school. Parents are integral to the global school system in an effort to help all students achieve and be successful. I will provide practical ways to recruit and maintain involved parents in the school system without always having to use food as a tool to recruit!

Reuben St. Clair, the teacher protagonist of the book Pay It Forward, starts a movement with this voluntary, extra-credit assignment: THINK OF AN IDEA FOR WORLD CHANGE, AND PUT IT INTO ACTION. Trevor, the 12-year-old hero of Pay It Forward, thinks of quite an idea. He describes it to his mother and teacher this way: "You see, I do something real good for three people. And then when they ask how they can pay it back, I say they have to Pay It Forward. To three more people. . . each.” Students come join the author of Pay It Forward, Catherine Ryan Hyde and representatives from Heifer International, Kiva High School, and One Is Greater than None to find out how you can get involved. Let’s start our own real-world movement of good deeds and organize Pay It Forward Clubs in classrooms across the globe.

Classroom settings differ incrementally by year with the introduction of new privileges, from lockers to lab work. But from kindergarten to senior high school years, the environment of education is static enough for students to become accustomed to the habits of day to day schooling, creating less motivation for innovative thinking. y delving into global activities one can be exposed to a variety of international environments, differing from one’s own. Through this exposure, new thoughts are not only circulated, but accessed. With further understanding of executing plans and implementing ideas, advancements in technology, peace, economics, and all aspects of life cannot just be expected from the students of today, but rather ensured.

This Presentation will focus on enhancing an already up and running program in order to increase education among children in Developing Countries. As many know, there is a large movement to send user friendly laptops to children in developing countries so they can increase their knowledge. So far 1,494,500 laptops have been sent through the One Laptop Per Child program, which is a great feat. However, I feel that the connection has ended there so in order to bridge that gap, it is the best interest of the children to create a Wiki that has all the resources they need. From websites about health safety, education, household needs and beyond, this Wiki could really change lives. Things we take for granted such as clean water are luxuries for those in developing nations. If we can just give them help to reach all the resources we have, so many of their everyday problems could be solved.

Teaching practica have long been viewed as an essential component of teacher-training programs. It is only in recent years that a shift towards global education has encouraged international placements for preservice teachers and for this reason, research in this area is relatively untapped. Furthermore, the limited research that is accessible for examination tends to focus on the emotional effects of an international experience rather than on the pedagogical factors. I plan to close this gap in research by examining the impact of international placements on preservice teachers’ professional lives and pedagogical methods. How does an international practicum affect a pre-service teacher's understanding of global education? Should all teachers have this experience an international placement to gain first-hand global awareness BEFORE entering into their own classrooms?

The presentation introduces Shared Mindspace as the student exchange strategy of the future. What sharing mindspace does: it lets kids dive straight into global education and make international connections, based on their genuine interest and the right attitude. And: it has practicable solutions for budget considerations, logistic hurdles and emotional thresholds. How it's done ? Kids and their families get introduced to the right partners: to each other. And they help each other. Because one has was the other needs. And vice versa. Shared Mindspace takes interested kids out into the world, safely and affordably, and it provides a long lasting domino effect for the family – both siblings and parents – as well as for class mates. Teachers can build their curriculum around the exchange program to benefit all: it's the „Big Synergy Bang“ of global education.

This presentation will explore the Community and Social Responsibility program at the American School of Bombay and the ways in which we integrate technology into the program. We will explain the many ways in which technology is used in all phases of the program from educational awareness to demonstration to reflection.
